GRAND RAPIDS -- The American Hockey League suspended Grand Rapids Griffins center Jamie Johnson for two games Tuesday afternoon.

Johnson was suspended for his actions in the Griffins’ 7-2 loss to the Lake Erie Monsters on March 18. The likely infraction was a blindside hit that laid out Monsters winger Patrick Bordeleau moments after Johnson had taken a hard check against the boards early in the first period.

Bordeleau had to be helped off the ice, but was able to return later in the game.

Johnson was not called for a penalty at any point in the game. But he was suspended under the provisions of AHL Rule 28.1 (supplementary discipline).

Johnson will miss Wednesday’s game against Toronto and Friday’s contest at Texas.

The suspension also will end his consecutive games played streak at 151 regular-season contests. Johnson had been tied with Charlotte's Chris Terry for the longest streak in the American Hockey League.
